June 20, 2018 9:30pmFusion CPA

Tonight Atlanta United is playing the Chicago Fire in Atlanta, Georgia. We want to know what the State of Georgia will collect from the top 6 earners of the Chicago Fire. In order to accomplish this we first need to know what each players’ salary is for 2018.

According to Spotrac.com the 6 highest earning players and their salaries are:

Bastian Schweinsteiger makes~ $6.1mm

Aleksandar Katai makes~ $1.14mm

Dax MacCarty makes~ $700K

Johan Kappelhof makes~ $555K

Michael de Leeuw makes~ $525K

Tony Tchani makes~ $320K

We then need to know how many games are in a MLS season, and according to Atlutd.com there are 34 games in the MLS season. Since we know that the Georgia state tax is calculated at 6% we can now project how much the 6 highest Chicago Fire players will owe the state of Georgia.

Bastian Schweinsteiger will owe Georgia ~ $10,764

Aleksandar Katai will owe Georgia ~ $2,011

Dax MacCarty will owe Georgia ~ $1,235

Johan Kappelhof will owe Georgia ~ $979

Michael de Leeuw will owe Georgia ~ $926

Tony Tchani will owe Georgia ~ $564.71
